Horsing Around




Come a little closer. That camera looks yummy.

 

Elvert the Gubknit and I decided to leave the Blog Bog for a day and go down to the park to see the  friendly equines. I don't really know them very well but that did not seem to matter much to them. They poked their heads over the fence to eagerly reach the luscious green dandelions that I had freshly picked and snatched them right out of my fingers. They were very gracious, never refusing any of my offerings.

I was mesmerized as I watched their lips fold up as they nudged me and I couldn't help but think "what big teeth you have." Whoops, wrong story. Sorry.

Dazzle the Dancing Dragonfly did not come with Elvert and me, murmuring something about having to practice her plies. Sweet Pea was also afraid to join us. Something about the horses' fondness for vegetation. Snap. Crunch. Yikes! Princess Sapphire and King Siam stayed back in the Blog Bog World, meowing about that darn Dalmatian who lived in the stable and how he wasn't a very good hostess the last time they visited. Probably the dog chasing cat issue had surfaced again.

So. That just left me and Elvert, whom no one seemed to notice. Or maybe they just couldn't tell him apart from all the other Gubknits flying around. But that probably accounts for all the odd looks I was garnering as I carried on an animated conversation with my friends. "You're so pretty" I said to the chestnut mare and "My, you're a big one" to what looked like a Clydesdale Budweiser horse. They were so silly with their head bobs, grinning teeth, and the way they went after my fingers for more snacks. For a minute, I thought Elvert was going to get gobbled up too. But all in all, it was a lovely adventure with God's creatures in paradise. You'll have to come with us the next time!

He knows when you're happy
He knows when you're comfortable

He knows when you're confident
And he always knows when you have carrots.
